I’m sitting here with Theresa Flores from Birmingham, MI, who has been a part of human trafficking in her early teen years. It is estimated more than 1 million children are in the global sex trade. Now Theresa is going to tell us all just what it was like to be part of this terrible life style. So Theresa, what was it like to be a victim of human trafficking?

Really it’s something that you can’t explain.

What do you mean by you can’t explain it. Was it that terrible or is it just that hard to think about. What did you feel like through the whole thing?

“It was a living nightmare. It was like the feeling of terror of a child, of never knowing if I'd come home again. It was the worst feeling ever.”

Can you remember what they would do to you at all; places they would take you, what they would physically do to you, things they would say, anything at all?

I can remember just about everything that happened. “I have a phone line in my room and I would often get calls at around midnight ordering me to sneak out of the house to a waiting car. They would take me to the very nice homes of men, and then just use me.”

Can you explain what you mean by “just being used”?

Well one night when I was 16, there was a car that showed up with six men. I was taken to Detroit and forced into a hotel room where two dozen men were waiting. From there I was auctioned off to the highest bidder. These people just use you for pleasure pretty much. It’s absolutely horrifying to know people actually do that.

So you’re saying you were sold to men.

Yes, yes I was.

Would you be willing to tell us what they did to you that night?

"I was drugged, beaten, sexually molested, and I passed out." From there I don’t remember a thing. I do remember “I woke up alone and I couldn't find my clothes. I had no idea where I was. It was probably the darkest, deepest despair of my life, and nobody saved me."

Wow I cannot believe being a victim of such a terrible experience. You are very lucky to be here today and we are very grateful for you to be here to tell us your story, and to help get the message out that human trafficking is going on, even towns like your home town, Birmingham. Is there anything that you would like to tell our viewers as we wrap up this interview tonight, Theresa?

I would like to say "If you see something that doesn't look right, feel right or smell right, it probably isn't right," I did learn that from all the amazing people at the clinic I went through to help me recover. I would love to thank those people for getting me back on my feet and back trying to live my life normal again.

Thank you again Theresa for this interview tonight and we will be back next week when we speak to a young  seven  year old boy who has an IQ of 140. Thank you and have a good night.
